When Rebuilding Is Smarter Than Renovating | Home Extensions Walkerville video 2

I’m at our Walkerville project, and I hope you’ve been following the story of this fantastic build.

It’s a massive two story addition on the back of a beautiful old villa right in the heart of Walkerville.

Video one showed the existing property and although it was a big two story addition, completely unworkable, accessed by a spiral staircase, very small rooms, and just didn’t flow, and like I said in the first video, rather than re-invent what was there, it’s more economical to actually take it down and start again.

And this is what we’ve done.

Major demolition to the existing addition that was on the back, plus some extra stone walls that had to come down as well because they weren’t structurally sound, and we’ve now done the footings and concrete slabs so you can get a scope for the size of this build – it’s very big, and this concrete’s going to be polished as well, and we’ve also gotten to a point where the structural skeletal steel frame is in place. As you can see, going up, up, and up, this is going to be one massive build, but not only will it be massive, it’s going to be designed properly and it’s going to work extremely well for the owners.

Can’t wait to show you some more footage, which will be the wall frames. We’ve already got the timber in place, ready to start on those in the next few days. So, watch this space. There will be plenty more footage of this beautiful two story villa here in Walkerville.
